Chapter 36 Ending! Marathon (Please collect and recommend)
The first five kilometers went as expected. Lin Feng remained in the first group, with Ye Xiaoxuan just two meters ahead of him.
The sun began to grow stronger, and sweat trickled down his temples. The ten-kilometer sign flashed by, and the timer showed 31 minutes and 15 seconds—nearly a minute faster than planned.
Wait? One minute earlier than planned?
"Too fast." Lin Feng frowned and realized.
Despite all his precautions, he was still led too fast by this woman, which resulted in him being unable to continue on the rest of the journey.
Lin Feng thought so, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, but soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
But come to think of it, this woman is the same, so what I need to be on guard against next is the opponent behind me.
However……
Huh? Why is this woman running faster and faster?
She wouldn't treat this as a half marathon and be fine after running 20 kilometers, right?
He must not be led astray by this woman, Lin Feng reminded himself secretly.
But as he watched Ye Xiaoxuan's figure getting farther and farther away from him, Lin Feng gradually began to panic.
Slow down, slow down, don't be impatient, this woman can't hold on for long, he said to himself.
Sure enough, not long after, Ye Xiaoxuan fell behind Lin Feng.
Haha, I really can’t hold it anymore. Let you… hehe——he——
Wait, it seems that it’s not the woman who is slowing down, but myself who is speeding up.
It was not until Lin Feng heard his own panting that he realized the seriousness of the problem. He wanted to slow down, but it was too late. He could only go to a roadside supply station to replenish his strength.
While replenishing electrolyte water, he stared at Ye Xiaoxuan with hatred.
Ye Xiaoxuan knew nothing about this. At this moment, she had already reached a state where she was oblivious to the world around her.
If Ye Xiaoxuan were running normally, she would definitely use magic to transform herself first.
Then use magic to hide your transformed clothes.
Through this complex operation, one can train himself to control magic power.
But, this is a competition after all, and Ye Xiaoxuan doesn't want to use magic to achieve her goal.
I thought that after losing my magic, it would be much more difficult for me to run.
I was also thinking about how to explain it to the audience later.
But it turned out that he was overthinking.
Through day after day of magic training, Ye Xiaoxuan's physical fitness has reached a state that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Running after eliminating magic is even easier than normal running.
It didn't take much effort at all. She had already run 20 kilometers without feeling tired at all. On the contrary, as the heat in her abdomen dissipated, her body felt unusually light.
She ran faster and faster, and it became easier and easier.
Due to the intense exercise, sweat gushed out from every pore of her body, making her body wet, but she didn't care at all and continued to run forward.
The contestants behind were also chasing after him.
With every drop of sweat, Ye Xiaoxuan felt her body become lighter, her feet seemed to float in the air, and she quickly finished the 15 kilometers.
At the fifteenth kilometer point, Ye Xiaoxuan arrived at the supply point, replenished her energy briefly, and continued running. At this time, she was already more than fifty meters ahead of Lin Feng, who was in second place.
Lin Feng at the back was running as fast as he could, and his expression became ferocious.
Soon they reached the 20-kilometer section, and the distance between Lin Feng and Ye Xiaoxuan gradually widened. What was worse was that looking at each other's condition, Ye Xiaoxuan's breathing was steady at this time, but Lin Feng could no longer hold on.
If he continues like this, he will be in danger of not only winning the championship but even the third place.
Is this the end?
Lin Feng couldn't help but think.
He has put in so much effort to enter this stadium and conquer the 42.195-kilometer track.
To build up his strength, he ran 80 kilometers a week, strictly followed his training plan, and endured muscle soreness and extreme fatigue.
In order to build up his endurance, he gritted his teeth and completed multiple sets of high-intensity sprints to push his cardiopulmonary limits.
Injuries are a common occurrence, and the only way to overcome the despair of the "wall period" is through ice packs, stretching, and professional physical therapy training.
The shoes and socks were worn in until blisters formed on the soles of the feet. They went to work in rainy days and hot summers as usual, just to have no regrets when they stood at the starting line. Here, every step is a testament to self-discipline and passion.
Is it going to end?
No, absolutely not!
He had to keep holding on, and at that moment, his belief was so strong that it broke through his physical limits.
Faintly, he heard someone calling his name.
“Lin Feng! Lin Feng!”
I am his die-hard fan.
This state was unprecedented. Lin Feng's heart was beating strongly, and his steps were steady and powerful.
"Hold on, one step at a time." He said to himself. His only opponent at this moment was himself.
Unfortunately, in the end, he still lost the game.
The finish line was right in front of him, but Ye Xiaoxuan crossed the line before him.
[Ding——Congratulations to the host for gaining the recognition of the unknown superpower, pure energy +1]
This unknown psychic was of course Tian Zihan. In fact, except for the first game where she was too sleepy and fell asleep and didn't pay attention, she was always cheering for Ye Xiaoxuan at other times.
…
The moment the timing chip on his chest crossed the finish line, Lin Feng collapsed to the ground.
But it feels so good! Faintly, Lin Feng felt that something in his body that had been blocking him seemed to be loosened.
The big screen displayed: 2 hours, 00 minutes and 43 seconds. At least I had surpassed myself, Lin Feng consoled himself.
At this moment, a hand reached out to him. It was Ye Xiaoxuan.
At this time, Ye Xiaoxuan's body had been tempered, and she was not tired at all. However, in order to avoid being noticed, she pretended to be exhausted and stretched out her hand to Lin Feng.
After all, she knew that strictly speaking, the champion of this competition should be Lin Feng. She was able to win because of the tempering of magic, while this guy won purely because of his physical strength, which was really awesome!
As for Lin Feng, who was lying on the ground, he was already satisfied. When he saw Ye Xiaoxuan extending her hand, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled, and then extended his hand as well.
A reporter nearby took a picture of this scene and wrote: Friendship first, competition second. The Nanshi Marathon has come to an end, fully demonstrating the spirit of sports.
The very next day, this photo will become a hot search along with the news about sixteen runners breaking the world record in a marathon race, but that’s a story for another time.
At this moment, in this stadium where a marathon has just been held, the most important thing is of course -
“BBQ!”
To be precise, it was actually a dinner party, and of course, this was also agreed by the organizer.
At this moment, dusk is falling, but a hint of orange-red afterglow still remains on the horizon.
The grass in the evening was warmed by the charcoal fire. Several small folding tables were put together and piled with plastic bags of greasy twisted dough sticks. The contestants, spectators and organizers of the competition all gathered here.
The grilled meat in the iron plate was still sizzling with oil, and the vendors sponsoring this competition were grilling the meat for everyone in an orderly manner.
Of course, the most popular one is definitely Ye Xiaoxuan’s grilled cold noodles, and the stall is always crowded with people.
Someone was pouring a half-full bottle of Coke onto the grilled cold noodles on the iron plate. When the soda hit the scalding hot iron plate, it immediately exploded into a cloud of white smoke.
"Oh my god, how are you eating this? Why are you wasting food if you're not going to eat it?" The people next to him frowned when they saw how he was eating.
"I eat whatever I want! What do you care about me?" The other party just glanced at him, laughed and cursed, and bit off the cold noodles in his hand, while shouting in his heart.
"Wow, I finally got to eat Sister Ye's grilled cold noodles. It wasn't easy. I finally got it, but I still had to be told how to eat it. It's so hard for me!"
That’s right, this person was Su Daqiang, and this time, he finally succeeded.
When the night wind blew, the charcoal ash from the barbecue and the laughter flew up together, mixed with the aroma of the food, and became everyone's permanent memory.
Finally, a young man reached out his hand to Ye Xiaoxuan. "I admire your level. Whether you can win or not, I hope we can have a chance to compete together next time."
"I hope so too, for both of us."
Ye Xiaoxuan also extended her hand.
Since then, Ye Xiaoxuan has gained one loyal fan and lost one hater, which is a cause for celebration.
However, in this joyful atmosphere, the aura of a young man was out of tune with the people around him. At this moment, he was silently eating the grilled cold noodles made by Ye Xiaoxuan.
He was right, 103 thought.
The grilled cold noodles made by this adult could actually react to the violent energy in his body.
